God bless you Chris! Works perfectly!

Life saver

Thank you soooo much :)

this didn't fix my problem, but for future reference what you need a another codec HEVC

unfortunately, didn't work for me. :(

did not work for me. I don't know what to do anymore

Thank fucking god

This is EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you so much!

this is the only thing that actually works. tried tons of other methods and THIS never fails. Thanks, a ton, for posting this video! you have saved a lot of time and headaches.

It still hasn't worked for me. In fact now all of my clips are just media offline instead of flickers of it.

If i right click on the timeline I don't get theese options.

Thank You sir From india westbengal darjeeling

still no luck here . . . I tried to load some xml file exported from premiere (because I prefer to color grade into davinci) but all the media seems to be off line. When I right click it finds the media in the finder though. I don't know what happens and why yet . . . Hoping somebody can help me out

Thought I lost 12 hours of work lmao. thank u so much :)

There is no decompose and place on my timeline when I right click

Wow, thank you, that's great!

Thanks Chris, In the middle of a 50 Awards program edit... just about finished when MEDIA OFFLINE shows up. Your solution worked great so my freak out level has significantly subsided. Back to the fun. Appreciate your taking the time to do this. Much appreciated. In Peace.. Bob

I fixed this problem by just switching back to the original files from proxies. PLAYBACK-PROXY HANDLING-PREFER CAMERA ORIGINAL

the fact that you had more tips in a shorter time AND none of the tips were nasal voice relink the clips....

Tnx a lot bud!!! You saved me!!!

thank you, this literally happened to me at 1am in the morning while editing and was just going to finalize all my clips before going to bed.

a quick 30 second tip - 3 minutes later 😂

It’s doesn’t show decomposed for me

Everything was working fine created a compound clip and then color graded in DaVinci Resolve 18 then one of my other Clips stopped working and so I went to fix it and I realized I just had the layer hidden and when I undid that the compound clip I was working on previously send media offline and when I do a search through my media it says 480 Clips not found maybe DaVinci Resolve can't handle 700 hours video footage I don't know it seems to work just fine normally but in any case it doesn't recognize this compound clip or any of my other Clips except for the other Clips still play this clip says it's offline and it doesn't seem like there's any way to search anymore because when I do a search it just gives me a spinning wheel and then just goes to normal screen as if it's gone through the search but it has not doesn't even tell me if it's found all of them I'm running a decent system but I guess it's having trouble plenty of RAM and everything not slowing down just having issues with the footage being found

Thank you!

The easiest and fastest way is selecting all your clips right click and select RELINK SELECTED CLIPS select the respective folders that your media files are located & the problem is solved

NOT WORKS

im confused because on my video the media offline only shows up when i have text over it and i took clips from my recording would it be different or the same thing?

I tried what you said and created a new timeline using selected clips but when I right clicked the timeline, it doesn't give the option to decompose in place. I selected the clip and then hit the drop down menu where the decompose in place option was listed and I was not able to select it.

I'm having this problem with importing my XML files that were outsourced for color grading...not trying to reimport to Davincci and ALL files are showing Offline....any idea why? thanks!!

this was very useful, thank you

DAVINICI RESOLVE IS A PEICE ABOSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! LOST THOUSANDS TRY TO GIVE IT A CHANCE ! BEWARE !! BEWARE BEWARE !!!

man you're my hero!! You just save a 5 days work and also my mental health, thank you so much :) !!

As soon as I click "create" for the new timeline, Davinci immediately freezes and will not respond no matter what forcing me to end the task. Any ideas on why this happens and how to fix it?
